"A
well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security
of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear
Arms, shall not be infringed."

Second
Amendment to the Bill of Rights

"You
have the Right to an Assailant"

Imagine
you're embarking on a journey to an undiscovered country
whose history and customs, its heroes and geography, its language
and way of life are totally foreign to you. Your permit to
carry
is
your passport, your contract with its "government," which
expects you to be aware of all these things and will hold
you fully accountable for them - even to the cost
of your life. As a new arrival on this foreign soil, you want
to fit in harmoniously among its good citizens and be regarded
as
a reasonable and prudent member of its society, a sober individual
whose judgments and opinions can be relied on.

Just as you wouldn't go to a distant land without learning
its ways, you don't expect a mere permit to carry
to instantly make
you anything greater than you already are. You become intimately
familiar with all facets of "legal defensive firearm culture," its
history, language, its notable personages, and how legal defensive
firearms integrate into a total program of both
mental and physical preparedness so that no sudden event can
ever take you unawares, both in the present and in the future.

As you travel abroad in this strange land, you soon discover
that you're treated with entirely less dignity and respect
than others are. Although you expect to fit in harmoniously, having
studied the
country's history of how it was founded by legally defensively
armed citizens: farmers and businessmen of high moral character,
who put into their founding documents for all to see, that every
citizen had the inalienable right, in fact, the duty to be legally
defensively armed at all times and that there were specific prohibitions
for all time to prevent "government" from ever removing
this right, you discover that somehow the very opposite has taken
place, that contrary to written tradition, nobody has any rights
except "government," and then only
if they're in a good mood.

You're strongly cautioned to beware of the roving goon squads
of mercenary ninjas employed as "government" assassins
dressed as storm troopers, complete with jackboots, black SS
uniforms, Nazi helmets and German machineguns, but, embarrassed
to publicly show their bloody
faces, all wear the same sinister ski masks other predatory criminals
do, but whose job it is to thoroughly intimidate the population
from even contemplating the legal resistance, built into the
founding documents, to the very tyranny they employ.

You, naively, thought this kind of thing only happened in third-world
dictatorships. You started to get a bad feeling when you landed
at the airport, and as you disembarked, were surrounded by surly
offensively-armed gangs dressed in camouflage, much as you'd
expect to see in any third-world dictatorship, and then were rudely

accosted
by arrogant men who demanded, "your papers, please," in
heavily accented English, and led you off to be electronically
strip searched, insolently threatening you with unwarranted
violence, arrest and prison if you dare protest your
shoddy treatment!

Their founding documents speak of "liberty" and "the
pursuit of happiness," but what you see with your own
eyes is citizens annually robbed at gunpoint, not by predatory
thieves, but instead, by the very "government" sworn
to protect them! You read of innocent citizens burned alive
for their religious
beliefs
and other citizens rounded up and deported as slaves in foreign
armies, with those who courageously refuse imprisoned for
life!

You're surprised and dismayed to discover an underhanded
campaign, orchestrated by the "government" and
administered by the Disinformation Ministry, whose results
are printed and broadcast
daily, loudly and constantly propagandizing the party line,
that only mercenary proxy-guardians and the standing army
may legally
possess defensive firearms, and to selectively report only
those rare instances where arms are misused by predatory
criminals, but
to deviously suppress all the numerous instances of honest
citizens successfully protecting their lives with legal defensive
firearms.

You're confused and disheartened by the obvious duplicity of
both the "government" and an entire segment of
this country's population, who all fervently believe that
passing
infinitely more immoral malum prohibitum laws further restricting
more of their already meager liberties
will somehow reverse their incomprehensible repudiation to
address that lawless segment of their population who refuse
to obey any
of their nebulous laws, when in fact, not even their duly
elected "government" obeys
them, assaulting and even murdering innocent citizens with
no retribution.

When you decide to pay homage to the founders by visiting
the site of the important first battle in the armed revolution
that
established the once-great country, begun because the citizens'
legal defensive arms were to be illegally confiscated by the "government," a
place dedicated to the freedom of individuals, you're shocked
and disillusioned to discover that today, you can't even
go there because you're legally defensively armed, and in fact
the local
mercenary proxy-guardian "police" chief
and attorney general both publicly brag that they allow no
one legally defensively armed, and its drunken senator, himself
guilty
of lethal felonies, gleefully announces a "war on individualism!"

You're parsimoniously restricted to only specific diminutive
areas in the country, and then only particular small unimportant
places within those areas. All others can go anywhere, but
not you. Places like airports, "government" buildings,
schools, and long arbitrary lists of other establishments, which
constantly change from
location to location. Although the country's founding documents
clearly
spell out that all citizens have rights, you discover that
in one part of the country, you're welcomed, and right down
the street,
you're shunned. You hear tales that long ago in this country,
a certain group wasn't even allowed to sit at the front of a bus
or train.
Well, today there are planes, but you're not allowed on board
because you're
legally defensively armed!

There's no consistency, and the myriad arbitrary, capricious
laws not only keep changing, but the interpretations of the
same law changes depending on which crooked politician looks
it over. Although downtrodden citizens have litigated parallel
case law, when
you point out the
glaring inequities, you're told that they have "no
relation to your circumstances" and in fact, the long-standing
law that unequivocally sanctions you to carry really doesn't
mean what it says, that any citizen can plainly see it means
just the opposite.

When desperate citizens petition the holy lawgivers for help,
the "government," smiling benevolently, tells them
it has no obligation to do so and further forbids them, like
recalcitrant children, from ever protecting themselves from
likely deadly attack.
You're told that the country's founding
document proudly proclaims, "A well-regulated population
being necessary to the security of a mercenary proxy guardian "police" state,
the right of the "government" to
seize and destroy arms shall not be infringed," and
that the highest court had unanimously decided that all citizens must be
issued this dire warning: "You
have the duty to remain helpless. Should you fail in this duty, anything
you do will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to
an assailant.
If you cannot find one yourself, the

court
will release one for you."

Horror
stories abound.

You forlornly read in the Disinformation Ministry's daily
journal, not of law-abiding citizens heroically protecting
their own families, but instead sordid tales of how hundreds
of disarmed victims are daily slaughtered with no hope of any "protection" from
their fat and happy thieving politicians, and heartbreaking
example after brutal example of how those downtrodden citizens
with nothing left
to lose are daily imprisoned or murdered by the treacherous "government" sworn
to defend them.

You're even informed that one of the country's most revered
leaders said during the most distressing event in the
nation's history: "Now we are entering the opening
engagements of a great civil war, testing whether this
nation, or any nation conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the proposition that free men
bear arms, can long endure."

You're
viewed with contempt and hatred by people who not only
don't know of the tests you had to endure and the harsh and intrusive
investigation into your background to assure the citizens
here of your
sterling character, yet scurrilous liars intent on
your destruction constantly propagandize a gullible public into
ardent
belief in the most vile fables concocted since Germany in the
1930s. Good but ignorant citizens are continuously exhorted
to generously
donate their hard-earned but increasingly extorted
income to a disgraceful band

of
incompetent fools, intent on your complete extinction.

Not only do "government" officials hound you, but
bands of political lackeys and dupes clamor for more immoral
malum
prohibitum laws and increasingly severe punishments for invented
crimes and imagined wrongdoing, going so far as to arbitrarily
determine that inanimate objects of certain size and even
color are somehow suddenly evil. Of course, the notion that one
need only "apply
for a permit" is
nothing but misdirection, equivalent to telling the Jews as they
boarded the trains to the East that they should be
careful to "label
your luggage for when you return."
